I'm not sad at all about turning 40.

I think 30 is a big jump from your 20s, but 40 holds no fear for me.

I'm excited about turning 40. I've been an adult for a long time, but there is a difference between being an adult and being a grown-up. I'm someone's mummy now and I'm enjoying that. I feel as if I'm about to hit my peak.

But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.

The 40s onwards are when we can really begin to enjoy ourselves. For many women, this is when everything comes together, and they look better than ever. The great thing about getting older is you don't have to do/wear/say anything you don't want to. It wasn't until my very late 30s that I stopped worrying about what other people thought.

I always did think that when I turned 40, I'd start coming into my own.

I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was.

When you are 20, 40 looks really old. When I was nearing 30, that seemed like a major milestone.

I don't want to spend my life in my 40s feeling bad about being in my 40s, and then all of a sudden I'm 50, and I will have missed a whole decade!
